Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Let the Adventure Begin!
Get ready to turn up the heat—Nintendo’s brand‑new Pokémon games, Scarlet and Violet, are officially hitting shelves worldwide on November 18, 2022.
What the Trailer Gave Us
The three‑minute teaser is packed with excitement:
- Meet brand‑new Pokémon like Lechonk, a cheeky little pig, and Smoliv, the avocado‑inspired critter.
- Spot a fresh four‑player co‑op mode, letting you squad up with friends again.
- Get hints that there’ll be three unique PvP modes, perfect for competitive play.
Dive Into the Unnamed Region
You’ll be exploring a brand‑new, unnamed area—think of it as a fresh canvas where you can catch a blend of familiar faces and cool new ones. Among the fresh faces are:
- Lechonk – a wriggly hamster‑pig that’ll steal your heart.
- Smoliv – evolve it into a powerful fruit Pokémon.
- Pawmi – a tiny, energetic Pokémon that walks on paws.
Legendary Showdowns
Watch out for the sporting legends: Koraidon and Miraidon burst onto the scene, bringing an element of epicness to your battles.
New Multiplayer Upside
Breaking the mold, Scarlet and Violet bring full multiplayer capabilities for up to four players. That includes:
- Exploring together in real time.
- Trading Pokémon with friends.
- Battling head‑to‑head in cooperative team fights.
It’s a first for Pokémon—previous titles capped out at two‑player co‑op. So grab your friends, grab your Poké Balls, and get ready to turn your gaming nights into a wild, cooperative B‑and‑B experience!
Three Fresh New Beginnings from Generation 9
Meet the Starter Line‑up
- Sprigatito – A sassy little green feline who loves to be the center of attention. Think of it as a cat with a serious case of the grass‑roots vibe.
- Fuecoco – A chill fire‑crocodile that takes life one slow step at a time. It’s the laid‑back king of the swamp.
- Quaxly – A proper, tidy duckling who’s all about order. If you’re looking for a feathered friend that cleans up after itself, this is the one.

Pokémon Gets the Ultimate Freedom Boost
Picture a landscape that feels as endless as your love for Pikachu.
The Pokémon Company describes the new titles, Scarlet & Violet, as an “open world where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the wilderness”.
It’s the kind of permission bill that turns a “sandbox” into a full‑blown playground you can wander around at your own pace.
Why This Matters
- Brings fresh life into a series that already knows how to keep the excitement buzzing.
- Feels like a vibe refresher similar to what our reviewer adored about Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
